Last evening a buoy in which were an
elderly gentleman and lady was seen flying
up Main street. The horse hitched to the
vehicle was evidently beyond their control
and was bidding fair to get up a very dis
astrouS runaway. AT the crossing of Doug
las avenue several gentlemen ran to the as
sistance Of the old people and the horse was
cont, oiled. They, however, considered it
unsafe to trust their lives to the animal,
alighted and sent their vehicle home by u
driver. The lady was badly frightened and
upon alighting from the buggy was almost

PATIENCE TONIGHT

| The dress rehearsal last evening" was I'M
equaled by any metropolitan company we
have ever seen as a last rehearsal. The COS
| tuning is dazzling in the extreme, and can
not help but be a strong feature in itself
The large company is handled with the ut
most precision. The positions and pictures
of the piece being faultless. And from the
extraordinary large advance sale, we pre-
dict even a greater success for them than
their Mikado of last year.
Miss Lima Wyatt OF Topeka, W ho sustains
the role of Lady Angela, arrived in the city
yesterday, and at the dress rehearsal won the
hearty applause of those present by the ar
tistic rendition of her lines. Miss Wyatt
has a fine stage presence with rich clear

The Business Mummy.
Post. t.Intelligencer.

A business man of this city re-
marked in our hearing the other day
that he hadn't paid $40 for adver.
tising in two years" This man has
been doing business in Seattle for ten
or twelve years. He has seen the
city grow from a mere village of g..
500 or 5000 persons to its present
size. He has shared in the benefits
of this growth to degree, not because
he deserved to do so, but because he
couldn't help it. Others, his neigh
bors, the enterprising and liberal. have
helped to push the city to the front
and he has been dragged along.
Seattle boasts OF as good daily news
papers as can be found in any city Of
its size upon the continent. No same
man denies that the growth and sue
cess of town are largely aided by, in
fact, much dependent on, the charac-
ter of the newspapers. 1t costs
money to publish such. They are
as much part of the business of o
community as are its manufactures
or its stores. Suppose that every
prominent business man in Seattle
had, like the one who we refer to, ex-
pended but ten dollars in the past two
years in advertising. What would
have been the result? The answer is
plain. Not decent daily paper could
have been published in this city, not 8
telegram from the wide world could
be paid for and published by a news
paper. 1t is possible that one sickly
weekly might live on such a regimen,
but no more.
Hence We say, and with this every
enterprising man will agree, that the
business man who fails to advertise
freely in the local papers is of no good
to the community in which he lives
but a positive clog upon the wheels oil
progress. He must be carried along
by the enterprise of others. He re.
ceiyes the benefits of a growth to which
he refuses to contribute. He shares in
the credit of town boasting live, en-
ergetic and able press but refuses to
aid in sustaining it. He is of no ad-
vantage to the community as whole,
because he will not help to sustain en-
terprises to contribute to the numer-
ical increase of the community, and
the extension of its business connec-
tions. He is an old mulligrub, pre-
Adamite mummy, and the sooner the
places occupied by such as he are We
Gated the better for any city.

GRAvITATION IN THE MOoN.--An in
genious writer treats of gravitation Of
the moon in the Popular Science News.
If 1t were possible, he says, to take a
journey to the moon we should find q
very different state of affairs existing.
The moon having a much smaller
mass than the earth will exert it's at
tractive influence less strongly; and
by the exertion of the same strength q
man could leap into the air to an as
tonishing distance, jumping over the
tallest buildings with the same ease
that he would clear low obstruction
on the earth. The same effect would
be produced upor, all other bodies.
Horses would travel at greatly in
creased speed, and if the rider was
thrown the consequences of his fall
would be much less serious; the ele-
phant would become as light-footed as
a deer; a stone thrown from the hand
OF a careless boy might iall in an ad-
joining town before accomplishing its
mission of destruction; armies would
engage in battles at great distances
from each other; and nearly every
kind of labor would be lightened, from
the diminished weight of tools and ma.
terials.-Boston transcript.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1887-04-22

MARY A. Livermore makes these
eminently sensible remarks: If
were able, I would change the public
sentiment so radically that no girl
should be considered well educated, no
matter what her accomplishments, I'M
til she had learned trade, business,
or profession. There would then be
fewer fathers and brothers toiling like
galley-slaves to support healthy and
vigorous human beings in stagnating
ldleness-idle for no earthly reason
save that God has made them woman.
Lack of technical and industrial train
ing not only makes dependent and in
efficient women of our daughters, it
puts them in fearful peril morally.
lndolence is always demoralizing 1t
ruins health, destroys beauty, and en-
feebles the will. "Out of 1900 fallen
women in the city of New York, 1880
have been brought up to do nothing
525 pleaded destitution as the cause OF
their sad life" In view of these facts,
which might be multiplied indefinitely,
ought we not to ril ourselves of the in
herited social idea that it is shameful
thing for young women to be taught
to support themselves by honorable in
dustry?

Woman Suffrage in Kansas.


In this booming town of Wichita,
with its 10000 inhat itants and its soil
so fertile that the prairie has but to be
tickled with a surveyors chain to
laugh back in corner lots, about six
hundred women have registered. As
an occupation was demanded of each,
they have been classified as house
keepers, servants, clerks, tc..vfers, .nd
"sports." Of the latter III have been
enrolled and it is said that many
others of them are registered among
the housekeeders. These Trailer sisters
are avowed anti-Piohibitionists and
have registered with the express pur-
pose of neutralizing the temperance
vote of the women. Besides the
"sports," who may be safely num-
bered at 200, there have been many
women registered, wives of German
citizens, who regard all the regulation
of the sale of beer as direct infringe
ment of their rights. There are other
women of the middle classes who look
upon the Prohibitionists as fanatics.
Many of these registered with desire
OF casting vote a, rebuke to the
temperance advocates. 1t is there
fore manifest to the impartial observer
that the female vote, will not only neu-
tralize itself and do no good in the di-
rection desired, but will actually cast
an influence for the other side.

CHINA is not a highly civilized coun-
try from defaulting bank managers
standpoint. The Tung Lung Bank
having to close its doors, the populace
beheaded all the officials that could be
found, and the few who escaped and
took refuge within the police station
have now been formally sentenced tc
death by the Government. 1t is evi
dent there is no Canada within easy
reach of China, and until there is the
position of Chinese banker will be q

EDITOR COnklin. of WatertOwn. II

EDIToR Conklin, of Watertown, Da-
'kota, attended the ceremony of the
Lords Supper recently, and this is
what he saw: "Therc at that altar,
in that holy place, knelt a notorious
usurer, clothed in purple and fine
linen, aud beside him knelt a victim of
usurious greed, in the person of a pale
sickly woman, poorly and thinly clad,
who while not having a weeks supply
of food to feed, or fuel to warm herself
and five helpless children, with the
frost of early winter assailing them
from without and the wolf of famine
peering in at the door, was even then
having chattel mortgage foreclosed
on all she had, to pay note As per
cent. of which was usuriOus, and an at
torney fee provided for in the mort
gage Of $l75. Verify. I said, the wolves
of hell feed with the lambs of the fold
at his cOmmemOratiOn table, and the
heralds of his gospel look on and up
braid them not.
